Hello,
and here my ~75 word candidate statement:
56 years old, living in Duisburg, Germany, no corporate affiliation. I
worked with the community since 2002 in different areas, e.g. created
and run the extensions/templates-site, gave presentations about our
project and run boothes. I served on the BoD for the last four years and
like to run for another two years, because I believe in our way of a
stable independent meritocratic (open and transparent) organization for
our office software project.
Kind regards,
Andreas

Hello,
I'll run for a Board of Directors seat at the Document Foundation again.
I'm Andreas Mantke, now 56 years old, and I live in Duisburg,
North-Rhine-Westfalia, Germany. I'm unaffilated. This means I don't work for a
company
doing business around LibreOffice nor do I earn any money from my work for
LibreOffice
and TDF. I'm also not in a (commercial) partnership with a company doing
business around LibreOffice or TDF.
I'm employed by a social security institution in Düsseldorf and work there in
the office with files and German regulations.
I'm active in the community of LibreOffice and it's antecessor already since
autumn 2002.
Currently I administrate the LibreOffice extensions and templates as well as
the ODFAuthors website, two sites running on the Content Management System
Plone. I develop two
new addons for the LibreOffice extensions and templates website to make it even
better.
Alongside my work with the ODFAuthors and the extensions and templates website
I run boothes
together with other project members, e.g. at Open Rhein Ruhr in Oberhausen, at
the FOSDEM in Brussels,
at the Cebit in Hannover and at the didacta in Stuttgart.
I served as a deputy member and a member for the last nearly four years and
worked together with the
other board members to grow the community of and improve the setting to make it
even more easy
to contribute to LibreOffice.
I want to continue this work, because our way of the development of an open
source and free office
software within an own independent meritocratic organization showed already
success. I'm convinced
that we should go further in this direction, stay with openess, transparency
and diversity. Thus I'm
a supporter of our transparent budget and financial reports as well as the way
to tender projects and the like.
Cheers,
Andreas

Hello,
I'll run for a Board of Directors seat at the Document Foundation again.
I'm Andreas Mantke, now 54 years old, and I live in Duisburg,
North-Rhine-Westfalia, Germany. I work in the office of a social
security institution called Deutsche Rentenversicherung Rheinland in
Düsseldorf and had to deal with rules and regulations there.
I worked since autumn 2002 for the community of LibreOffice and it's
antecessor. I was responsible there for the documentation inside the
German speaking lang-project for long time, wrote some free licensed
howtos myself and started work on the portable version of the office
suite. I worked also with the former extensions and templates site and
upgraded the ODFAuthors site to a newer Plone environment.
I gave also some presentations about the office suite and documentation
at conferences and other events and run some boothes together with other
project members. I'm with TDF and LibreOffice since it's announcement.
I'm one of the founders of the German association Freies Office
Deutschland e.V., but I have no special role there.
Once LibreOffice was born I continued my work with presentations and
running boothes together with other project members, e.g. at Open Rhein
Ruhr in Oberhausen, at the Cebit in Hannover and at LinuxTag in Berlin.
Alongside I worked on a new environment for the Authors documentation
team and made a few easy commits to the source code of LibreOffice. I
created the new LibreOffice extensions and template repository and the
conference sites for the LibreOffice conferences in Berlin and Milan,
which I maintain.
In the last nearly two years I served on the BoD as a deputy member and
worked together with the other board members to shape and grow up the
foundation. I want to continue this work, because our way of the
development of an open source and free office software within a own
independent meritocratic organization showed already success and I'm
convinced that we should go further in this direction with openness and
transparency as we already did.
Cheers,
Andreas
